Frequently Asked Questions
What is revision rhinoplasty?
Revision rhinoplasty is a secondary nose surgery performed to correct aesthetic or functional issues that persist or arise after a prior rhinoplasty, often involving cartilage grafting and structural reconstruction.
Is revision rhinoplasty harder than primary rhinoplasty?
Yes. Revision cases are more complex because of scar tissue, altered anatomy, and reduced cartilage, which is why they benefit from a surgeon with reconstructive expertise.
When can I have revision rhinoplasty?
Most surgeons recommend waiting at least 12 months after the previous rhinoplasty to allow swelling to resolve and tissues to stabilize before revision.
